National Signing Day announcements are supposed to be fun, but this one is just awkward and sad. Four-star wide receiver Jacob Copeland just picked Florida over Alabama and Tennessee, upsetting his mother so much she picked up her purse and walked out on live television.

I don’t blame her… she’s in all crimson, he’s in all crimson, and then he picks Florida in a serious troll move. I’d walk off too in her shoes so the cameras wouldn’t see me smacking my kid upside his head!

Yeah, I don’t even understand how that happens unless it was really cold and she borrowed the UT hat… You can’t be a UT fan and a Bama fan. That’s worse than being a UK fan and a Duke fan (because at least UK and Duke are both good!)

The only way this would be OK is if the family lived really close to Tuscaloosa. Then getting upset because your son was going far away from home, that would be understandable. But they don’t. They live in Pensacola which is the same distance to Gainesville as it is Tuscaloosa. So to throw a fit because he picked a team you’re not a fan of? C’mon momma.
